Title: Love Me Love Me Not
Chapter: Eye Opener
Date: August 3, 2010
Inuyasha stood complacently between his mate and his oldest son, Sesshoumaru. The twins were behaving for once; InuTaisho looked proud and tall while Sesshoumaru was a blank and neutral faced as ever. However, Inuyasha was uneasy about the whole affair. There was something wrong with the suddenly smiling council members whom had been cocky when it looked as if InuTaisho would not get an heir and then angry when Sesshoumaru, then the twins were born. It did not make sense to Inuyasha and he kept his guard up despite the relaxed states of his mate and children. Something was off; he could feel it in his bones. The ceremony went on calmly until it was time for the crowd to move back from the family so that the Lord of the Western Lands could give the rites and present Sesshoumaru as heir to the Western Lands. It was only a flash in Inuyasha’s eye and he was moving before he even really thought about it. His small, injured body slammed a surprised Sesshoumaru out of the way and landing in front of the Lord InuTaisho just in time to be hit with several darts right in the upper center of his chest.
Inuyasha let out a strangled gasp as blood spattered from his lips before he collapsed to the ground in a fit of convulsions. Inuyasha’s skin began to turn pale as his arteries and veins began to turn black against his flesh. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and more blood, also turned black, began to flow in a steady stream from his mouth. The entire was in an uproar as InuTaisho ordered the assassin caught, Sesshoumaru had Healer Pancho sent for immediately, and the twins’ nursemaids were ordered to follow out some of the guard to the twin’s rooms for their safety. Healer Pancho arrived just as Inuyasha’s still convulsing body was moved to a secluded area next to the ceremonial hall. Pancho took one look at Inuyasha and started to pray. He recognized the poison and there was no cure for it. If it had hit Inuyasha while he was still human, it would have been metabolized out of his system immediately, but in his hanyou form it could kill him, though not as fast as if he was a full inu demon.
“What are you doing Healer? Heal him!” Sesshoumaru was up in arms. His mother was dying and the healer was just sitting there with his hands pressed to his chest and his eyes closed.
“There is nothing I can do against this. It is completely up to Inuyasha-sama whether or not he survives the effects.” Just as Pancho finished talking, another presence made itself known within the antechamber. It smelled of damp earth after a hard rain and spring blossoms.
“M-mo-moth…er…d-don’t,” Inuyasha’s whisper just barely carried along the in the room. All heads turned toward the woman that had appeared, seemingly from thin air. Her hair was green and short, her eyes the color of the pinkest sakura blossom, and her cherry tinted lips were set in the firmest of frowns. She turned icy eyes towards each person in the room before turning her coldest glare upon the Lord of the Western Lands.
“I gave you a precious gift, one that you begged me for, because you are my most devoted and this is how you repay me for my gift?!” The woman asked in eerily calm outrage. InuTaisho looked as though he had been slapped while Sesshoumaru and Pancho were stumped with confusion as to what the woman was talking about.
“Wha…what?” InuTaisho was just as confused as the others. What gift had she given him? If it was his children, he treated them as was their stations as the heir and princes of the Western Lands. The woman glared before walking over to the hanyou that had finally gone still and gold eyes had become glazed with approaching death. She reached down with gentle, loving fingers and pulled free the poison tipped darts from Inuyasha’s chest. With those same fingers, she traced the holes left behind and the entire room watched in awe as the black that had riddled Inuyasha’s blood vessels began to recede. After a few moments, Inuyasha’s breathing returned somewhat normal and Pancho immediately moved in and opened the haori and kimono that covered the small half inu’s chest. The woman again frowned as she brushed the healer’s hands away before tracing the ribs and Inuyasha’s breathing began to even into its natural rhythm.
“He’ll sleep for a few days to regain his energy from the near death experience. Take care of him while I deal with other matters.” The woman did not ask, she demanded and Pancho knew that he could not go against her word. He carried Inuyasha out of the room himself and to the infirmary near his quarters. She turned back to InuTaisho and Sesshoumaru who were still standing dumbstruck within the small antechamber.
“Answer me InuTaisho of the Shiro Inus! Is this how you repay me for the gift that I had permitted you?!” Though her voice was no louder than a whisper, it echoed menacingly around the room.
“You mean that bastard?” InuTaisho asked incredulously. She growled in response to his answer.
“Do you mean Inuyasha? If so, then yes. However else would you have gained your current children without Inuyasha? It was my blessing that allowed Inuyasha to survive within that bitch. I knew that he would face opposition and I knew that you would not be thrilled with the idea of taking him as your mate, but I had believed that Inuyasha could show you that strength is not solely dependent upon the status of your blood. Instead, I have sent my most favored child to his near death. I cannot undo what has already come to pass, but I assure you that from this moment forward, my child will not be left unsupervised in your care. Henceforth, until you have learned from your mistakes and can prove to me that you are worthy of my child, his womb is locked and shall be watched over by sun and moon.” The woman turned to the younger demon that stood to the left of InuTaisho.
“How dare you choose your pride over your mother and lay harm upon his person! For the next century, you shall suffer alongside him in his transformation. When the moon disappears from the night sky, you will be forced to become the dog that you are and to lay with the fleas that you have associated yourself with.” The woman promptly disappeared while leaving two reeling inus in her wake. Mother Nature was not a woman that you associated with lightly and they had greatly displeased her. Sesshoumaru was finally alone after the fiasco of the Presentation Ceremony. He lay on his back in his bed in his own rooms. His mind was turning the events of the day over and over again, looking at the information from different angles each time. He came to the same conclusion each time; he had abandoned his mother, had hurt his mother, had harmed his mother when the hanyou that had birthed him had done nothing but love him unconditionally. It was then that a memory came to him that he had pushed down for almost seventy years.
“Mommy?”
“Yes my little prince?”
“I’s no lil! Sleep time. Proect Mommy, I’s pwomise.”
Sesshoumaru felt something on his face and lifted his hand to remove it. He looked down to see what it was and was surprised to see that it was the clear liquid of tears. He was crying because he had broken his promise and even more, he had become a person that his mother had needed protecting from. Even his younger siblings were cruel to their mother; always playing horrible, and often time dangerous pranks that had put him into the infirmary each time. Despite all of that, their mother had thrown away his own life for them. Sesshoumaru rose from his bed and slipped out of his rooms quietly. He traveled down well remembered hallways until he reached the infirmary. He promised himself that he was only going to take a quick look.
Sesshoumaru felt something weird in his chest as he stared upon the small figure that seemed almost lost in the bed. Inuyasha had always looked small and unimposing, sticking to the background, but in that sterile white setting, it was worse. It looked as though his mother would be swallowed up and lost within what would otherwise be a small bed. Sesshoumaru felt that same strange twinge in his chest before he had to look away, before he had to leave because he just could not….
InuTaisho sat in his study thinking over all that had occurred during the day, especially what Mother Nature had told him. His thoughts were just a jumbled mess as he was angry that she had done something so underhanded, yet there was another, smaller side of himself that had he had been squashing since the initial mating that said that she was right. His behavior had been atrocious; however he had kept up the reputation and image that he had always held even if it had cost him the normal emotional connection with his mate. Inuyasha was so afraid of him that the smaller demon would do everything in his power to make sure that he was neither seen nor heard by him unless it was mating season. InuTaisho did not know why that thought bothered, but it did so with alarming clarity. With a sigh, the DaiYoukai decided to worry about such matters in the morning when he had rested. He would look upon it with fresh eyes, but for the moment, he was so exhausted that his mind was running in meaningless circles.
“Kami-sama, help me.”
